Cured between the boys and Pinkerton's g
men, and Thomas Hogan. 16 years OF age,

Pinkerton's men. The boys we're jeering
Pinkerton's men, who were stationed in the
company's g yards to protect property, and
occasionally they rained shower OF snow
balls and other missiles upon the men.
Near by a crowd OF strikers and their SYM
pathizers were assembled, and they lent en-
couragement to the boys. At length the
leader of the Pinkerton men stepped
forward and ordered the boys to stop throw
ing missiles at them. The boys did not
obey, and almost instantly three sharp
cracks of revolver rang out and Hogan
fell dead. The excitement was intense and
lookers-on fed in every direction. The
lea der OF the strikers ordered them back to
their headquarters. In anticipation of an
attack Pinkerton's men we're at once drawn
up in battle array. The Jersey City po-
lice reserve hurried to the ecene. An am
bulance was summoned and the body OF
the dead boy was removed to the morgue.
Hogan was not one OF the party throwing
missiles, but stood on the opposite side OF
the street.
Inspector Lange Immediately collected
number OF witnesses to the shooting and
marched the Pinkerton men out in line. He
then ordered the witnesses to identity the
men who shot. They selected Patrick
Shelly, Daniel Cohill and Samuel Oneff from
the line, and identified them as the three
men who fired at the boys. The ball that
struck Hogan pierced his brain, directly
above the right eye.

self at Macedon Center this morning to
remain there until evening, but soon tired
of it. Her father, an old time local poll
tlcian, was with her, and they did not
make good team. Miss Clark does not
possess the magnetism Of Miss Cook, and
made little Roadway with voters. Then,
too, there are very few young Prohi-
oitiOnists IN Macedon or that locality to
aid her in her CANVASS. At noon Miss
Clark became disguised with the manner
in which the Republicans and Democrats
voted, man sitter man, without ever allow
ing her to interjact one word in her own
behalf, and retired from the polls. At
Ontario and two o:her small places, how
ever, some of her young women friends
went to the polls for an hour or two in
Miss Clark's interest.

Of Miss Clark by a Republican majority
OF over 700. The news was not unex-
pected by her friends.
